SCOOP w/ @RyanLittleE: Georgia voters 45 times more likely to have mail ballot applications rejected & not vote in Nov 2021 vs 2020 after GOP passed new voting restrictions That rate would've led to 38,000 fewer votes in 2020, 3x Biden's margin of victory motherjones.com/politics/202…

Marianne, we need you, Andrew Yang and a bunch more progressives to throw out the DNC and RNC corporate-bought and become a viable movement.

but having 1/3 of the Black and Latino population of boston banned from public life is not a red alert for our democracy? why the silence about abject authoritarianism in boston, chicago, LA, SF, new york, new orleans?

That's very stubborn. That's like saying if they increased the driving age to 18 then 40% of applications would be denied. It sounds like the people in denial are those under 18 still trying to drive. Good analogy?

Yes ... if this law was in effect in 2020 ... Biden might have lost Georgia ... Something to think about!

Who are you alerting? Nobody in power is doing Jack shit about this.

What democracy. We’ve been in an oligarchy since the start
